Youth and the City in the Global South

More about the book

Focusing on the impact of globalization and neoliberalism, this work explores the challenges urban youth face in developing countries. Through ethnographic studies in Recife, Hanoi, and Lusaka, it reveals how economic and demographic changes hinder young people's ability to become independent adults. The book argues that youth is a distinct experience, not just a transitional phase, and provides in-depth case studies that illuminate how these young individuals navigate their cities, manage their time, and envision their futures.
